Knights and Castles — page 4 — The soldiers were called knights They wore armor and rode horses into battle Knights lived during a time called the Middle Ages a period of about 500 years between the ancient and modern times in Europe When a knight fought he wore a heavy suit of metal armor The armor protected the knight from swords arrows spears and other weapons

Knights and Castles — page 5 — A group of knights attacking on horseback was a scary sight They were like the armored tanks used in modern warfare The knights could easily defeat enemy foot soldiers who wore no armor But if a knight fell or was knocked from his horse he was in trouble The armor was so heavy that he could not rise from the ground without help
